    It's a difficult read

    It's a difficult book that I have to be in a specific mood to read. I've noticed, that no matter if it's an audiobook or an ebook, after I read a few pages, I sometimes have no idea what I just read. Probably because English is my second language and it's an older writing. So I'm thinking about changing to my native language for this one and if not, then I might have to listen and read at the same time to it 😭 Anyone feeling the same way?

  • Seasonal readalongs and choosing your next read

    Hello! I'm curious about how others see readalongs here. I found myself really wanting to read all of the books, but then I know some of them are not my cup of tea, plus there's other books I want to read much more. My problem being that I'm a sort of a collectioner and I'm a sucker for limited and FREE stuff. 😭 Do you focus on them when choosing a book to read? Or maybe you prioritize your tbr and for how long a book has been waiting there? Or just your general mood? I definitely am more of a mood reader, but it makes my reading a little inconsistent 😅

  • Book buying ban 😳

    Who else has banned themselves from buying new books because of their substantial physical tbr and who else is quite bad at upholding that ban haha I've become very aware of over consumerism over the last couple of years and am trying to adjust my bad habits but sometimes I can't help but grab a new book every once and a while

  • How do you find people to follow?

    I've been looking to follow more people, so curious about how everyone else does it! Do you have friends irl that you've invited here? Do you use the "% overlap"? Do you find folks you vibe with in the discussions and just add them? I've tried the "readers with similar taste" list in the Discover page, but because it suggests people based on them having at least one book similar to mine in the "My Taste" section, I think it works better for people who have fairly uniform taste in books (e.g. typically reading from one or two genres, which I don't) and also leans towards matching based on books that have been widely read by the Pagebound community.

    Thoughts from 3% (page 14)

    "How could you communicate with the future? It was of its nature impossible. Either the future would resemble present, in which case it would not listen to him: or it would be different from it, and his predicament would be meaningless." Kinda real? Chat is this real?

    Totalnie nie spodziewałam się tego plot twistu na koniec, ale ma on sens. Bardzo ciekawe i nieco inne spojrzenie na koncept wielu linii czasu. Postacie niezbyt mocno zarysowane, ale nie muszą być, żeby historia była dobra. Daje ciekawe rozkminy na koniec, co bardzo lubię w książkach. To moja pierwsza przygoda z Mrozem, ale na pewno nie ostatnia :)

  • Pagebound as my new doomscrolling replacement

    Once I go on Pagebound, I spend SO MUCH time in here, that I have no time to doomscroll anymore LOL. It's great, but it also makes me think that I don't have enough lifetime to read all of the books T-T I love how much it motivates me to read tho and I started listening to audiobooks thanks to people's recommendations!
